I came across this site while I browsing the internet and I about died. You could not pay me any amount of money and you could not torture me in any way possible that would get me to eat any of these so called "Delicacies". How anyone could consider these delicacies is beyond me, I will never get it. I guess you just have to have been raised on this stuff to develop a taste for it. So, with that in mind, my questions to you are...What is the wierdest most unusual thing that you have ever eaten? Would you eat it again if you were given the opportunity? Last but not least, would you eat all or any of the ones listed in the link below? If so, would you need an incentive to do it or would you just eat them? http://blog.hotelclub.com/7-asian-delicacies-you-probably-couldnt-stomach/

Birds nest soup is actually quite good. But for the rest, I have no clue. I've heard of monkey brains before, and that some people in China eat the brains while the monkeys are still alive. They slice up the monkey's head (while it's still alive and breathing and conscious of what's happening) and people just scoop out the brains. Ouch ouch ouch, that should hurt so damn much and I can't understand why anyone would enjoy that. But then again, we belong to different cultures and in some parts of the world, that is actually considered the norm.. Oh by the way, the weirdest I've eaten was a gelatinous-like food with edible worms inside. It was so gross but my relatives were so excited for me to try it coz it was a delicacy in their place. So I did, and it didn't taste weird but the thought of eating worms is just beyond me.. And I will never try it again, I just hope I won't have to..

I've had some people from the Phillipians tell me that Bird's Nest Soup is good but if it's all the same, I wouldn't like to try it LOL...That's so horrible about the poor little monkey! It just seems so inhumane as well but I know it's their culture...Still... Um...I can't believe you ate worms but hey, better you than me!!! ;-P

Lol, now that I think about it, I can't believe that I was able to swallow the gelatin thing. It was the grossest-looking thing that I've put into my mouth. By the way, thanks for the pen!

I've never tried any of these, nor would I want to. The weirdest thing I have eaten would have to be tripe. If you don't know what it is, don't ask as it may just gross you out! LOL My mom used to make it for me when I was growing up, but once my husband told me what it was I just haven't been able to 'stomach' it since. PS If you are still wondering what tripe is, here is a link with the answer: http://www.funtrivia.com/askft/Question64985.html Just remember, I warned you! LOL
